Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From a game play standpoint I enjoy creating different team builds (you can have more than the 4 active units, you can save different load outs and load them as needed) and building units and pilots around certain play styles to support each other.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really liked Iron blood Orphans, or something like that, it had that bittersweet kind of ending and Barbatos is now my favorite mech.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is pretty fun and straightforward, with a little bit of complexity regarding the squad system, though it boils down to units being encouraged to stick close to their squadmates to provide offensive and defensive support.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With its super-deformed (SD) art style and cinematic attack animations, it offers a mix of nostalgia and strategy that will especially resonate with longtime fans of the franchise.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game’s charm lies in its dense grid-based strategy mechanics and the sheer breadth of playable characters and Mobile Suits.
